Czech president: we found 3.5 million shells for Ukraine
Details
According to Czech President Petr Pavel, his country has developed a "creative" method of delivering shells to Ukraine, but funding is needed to implement it.
At a discussion attended by the leaders of five EU member states President Petr Pavel spoke about problems with the supply of arms and ammunition to the Ukrainian armed forces. He said that Prague had found a solution to organize such supplies.
"We need to support Ukraine in supplying ammunition from every possible source. We need to be as innovative and flexible as Ukrainian soldiers and look for military equipment everywhere," he said.
Pavel said the Czech Republic "actively seeks out military supply opportunities around the world and then cooperates with NATO partners." He singled out Denmark, the Netherlands, and Canada, which have provided resources to organize the supply of military equipment to the Czech Republic. "We then promptly send this equipment to Ukraine," he explained.
Pavel stated that the Czech Republic has been successful in their quest.
"Now we have found half a million 155 mm shells, and 3 million 122 mm shells, which we can ship (to Ukraine) in a few weeks if we find funding for it. We will ask for this help from partners in the United States, Germany, Sweden, etc.," he said.

Thirty-three years ago, a ceasefire brought an end to the Transnistrian War—sometimes described by locals as the Russian-Moldovan War. Although the tensions officially ended in 1992, its consequences continue to shape Moldovan politics, society, and security — especially in view of the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Finland is moving to withdraw from the Ottawa Convention, which bans anti-personnel mines. Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said the decision comes as a direct response to growing aggression from Russia.
The ruling Georgian Dream party has approved a set of controversial laws, including a “foreign agent” act aimed at NGOs and media. Critics say it mimics the U.S. FARA but is weaponized against dissent.

The Russian capital faced one of the largest terrorist attacks in its history. The terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, which claimed the lives of many innocent people, was the second largest after the Beslan tragedy. But unlike previous attacks, this incident is shrouded in a layer of contradictory facts and ambiguities that point to possible miscalculations by the Russian security services
